Elaine,
Mark and I justI had a baby girl ! I named her Jade after my mother who is on the other side with you. I miss you so much and wish I could have a chat with you  and catch you up on my new adventures. You are always with me ,my big sister . 

Love always,
Laura

Looking at photos of you, Elaine. So many great memories. Thank you for being my dear friend; for your love and kindness. I love you always. May you rest in peace with God.

You must have done something right because we are still talking you, your love and generosity. Marc loved your apartment from the day he moved in during Covid times.
He owns it now, I hope you are happy about that fact. We went to Home Depot yesterday to get a light bulb for the kitchen. You go into the store and take pictures of what you want and they help you find it. The store labeled the florescents “vintage “and only Amazon could track it down!!! I hope you are laughing! Over 40 years old!!! From your parents to you to Marc. I am glad it was kept in the family❤️

I miss you so much, Elaine! I love you. I know you are with God.

Oh Elainey, I need to have a good chat with you. I talk about you all the time, still.  I wonder what you would advise when I need your point of view.  If you hear my discussions and you have time, let me know what to do.
I hope you are doing all your favorite things, listening to some cool jazz, writing a poem, looking at all the finest art from above.
I hope you met up with Laura’s mom who could use a friend as she joined you a little while ago. You would have continued pride in knowing what a lovely gal you helped along.
I miss you still and remember your well lived generous life. Blessings,
Candy

My name is Stuart and I am 86 years old . I live in Latham NY and have 2 wonderful, beautiful, smart children . I first met Elaine when I was 21 and she was 15 . I was a student at George Washington Univ. living at Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity House . Elaine showed up with her friend, Joyce Ressler, at a fraternity party . Elaine was pretty and smart well beyond her years . Elaine graduated from American Univ. as did I . She completed her Masters degree at Tulane Univ .

I continued to see Elaine, on and off, thru the years . After I graduated  I would visit her in Silver Springs MD, and she would visit me  in Hillside NJ . We both liked Jazz and attended many concerts ---
Newport Jazz Festival (Newport RI) where we saw  the great Ray Charles and many other Jazz artists of that day . 
Birdland and  Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC --- Saratoga Jazz Festival at SPAC in Saratoga Springs NY --- Miles Davis in Brooklyn NY .
I last saw Elaine when she visited me 15 years ago in Latham NY . We spent time in Saratoga Springs - Jazz concerts, great restaurants, etc .

I'm greatly saddened to hear of Elaine's passing . I Aways Loved her and Always will . True Love Never Dies .



I remember lot's conversations, and many laughs


You were supposed to be here in Florida in December of 2020! I am sure it was your preference too.
I do not remember how we met or exactly when we met, but for sure it was just a heavenly match. I am sure every friend you made
Felt the same way. 
Your mom lived in the same building as I do, and so after awhile, you made the Hallmark your Florida home, too, spending vacations here when you could.
Fourth of July, Christmas, and Spring break. It was so lovely spending quality time with you. We would walk to a favorite brunch restaurant on Sunday’s. It is gone now, too.
Time moves so quickly as you get older, hardly fair. But! We certainly made the best of things. 
It is coming up on a year since we shared a conversation. Nightly texts until we were ready to sleep.
I miss you greatly! Thank you for your generosity in every way possible.
I hope we will share space when we find each other again.
Love,
Smoochies


It’s awful to read of Elaine’s death from seeing her Facebook page.  My connection to this beautiful person was so long ago—during our shared difficult teenage years of junior high and high school in Silver Spring, MD.  Our friendship then was as only teenage girls know friendship. Our backgrounds were similar—and I think each of us in our small group had dysfunctional families. It was the 50’s and when we broke apart by circumstances and time, we lost the powerful connection that had bonded us.  It was a regrettable loss to this day. And now Elaine is gone—along with the many secrets we silently shared.  Tears for sure.  A light has been dimmed. RIP Elaine. 

I was a patient of Elaine's for several years many years ago. Like everyone else, I experienced her as warm, kind, funny, perceptive, and loving. I loved her, and I still do. It hurts me deeply that she suffered and is gone.

I met Elaine when I joined the psychotherapy office suite  on University Place with her and Paula in the 1990's.   Miraculously we worked seamlessly there for 25 years. I did not know her well outside of our periodic suitemate dinners which we planned in order to actually see one another and keep in touch with our lives outside of the office!  She was a lovely, smart, caring professional and friend. I never hesitated referring people  or consulting with her . I remember when she first began to see her "little sister" and how much joy she took from that relationship. Sadly when our office building sold  5 years ago we lost touch. I was saddened to learn of her passing and I offer my deepest condolence to her close friends and family.  

Elaine was one of the most inspirational people in my life. Someone who found me and selflessly guided me through out my life. I met her through the big sisters big brothers foundation. I remember she would pick me up from elementary school every other Friday. My parents were going through a very brutal divorce with custody battles and accusations for years. I remember most of my childhood being in court. She would take me out to do so many fun things. She gave me an opportunity to see that even in chaos there could still be happiness and joy. Although I don’t have any photos of us then, I have the most amazing vivid happy memories with her. She gave me a positive distraction and she was an amazing role model. As I grew up my junior high school was down the block from her house.I lost contact with her around high school.

I went to college and then nursing school where I had clinical rotations at Beth Israel hospital. I would again pass her house often. So I left a note for her with her door man. It was as an adult that I learned Elaine was a social worker who worked as a psychotherapist. I was so Inspired by her approach to everything in life. She always was a compassionate and supportive friend.  

 I am now a Registered Nurse and I specialize in mental health. I think back so much at how I could have so easily gotten swept up in the chaos of life. I do think in many ways Elaine saved me. I realize how blessed I was to have her in my life. We were friends, but she really was my big sister. Maybe not by blood, but in my heart she is a part of me. I would always tell her I loved her.  I will miss her so much. I can only imagine how many other people she touched and cared for. Although she may no longer be with us physically. I have a plethora of wonderful memories with her. I will always remember her beautiful, warm, eloquent and graceful presence, and her ability to make me feel loved and cared for. 
I love you my big sister Elaine, Rest in Peace ❤️

Elaine was my dear friend for over 30 years. She was the most compassionate person I ever met. Her kindness and love were always with me, even though we lived far apart. She was a bright light in my life. I will miss her more than I can say. I am grateful that she is at peace.

My sweet, lovely,  funny, smart Elaine was a “suite”  mate of mine from 1985 until about four years ago. She was a pleasure to share a therapy suite with In every way: we exchanged funny anecdotes, we complained about how people behaved in the waiting room but also had many serious conversations about our  more challenging patients. Most importantly, we shared intimate conversations about our lives and the choices that we both made in order to live fully as human beings.  Sadly, after we lost our lease we had less contact with one another and I’ve missed her humor and point of view very much over the last few years.  She was a fighter, but may she may now rest in peace. 
All my love, Paula

Dear Elaine,

You have been my dear friend for over 25 years.
Your love of life was contagious and the laughs and tears we
shared will never be forgotten.

Even with our last conversation and your being so sick
you were able to make us both laugh.

It is hard to imagine that you have passed. 
Your at peace now and the suffering is over.
I will forever miss you and love you.

Sereda

Bill and I will miss you very much.  Your Hallmark family will miss you.  The only consolation here is that your suffering is over.  

As Francine Tint's  companion, I had the pleasure to meet Elaine and hear about all the wonderful experiences Elaine and Francine shared.  I also shared some with them . I visited the hospitals often  with Francine to cheer Elaine up

Elaine was one of my supervisors in the Human Sexuality Training Program at Cornell.   She was a warm kind person with a great sense of humor, and an excellent teacher and clinician.   I am very sad to learn that she is gone.  Rest In Peace Elaine.  Beverly Hoffman

Dear Elaine was a lovely person with an extraordinary smile. I met her through my friend Francine Tint, the artist. Elaine took my gestalt workshop on Breaking Through Barriers for creative people. She was creative through her therapeutic work with others. It was a joy to know her. 

"Cousin Elaine" is how my sister and I always referred to her and how she signed her cards on birthdays.  She was the flower girl and our parent's wedding, the idol of my sister and the person who showed me that in NY people really do whistle for taxis.  We  are so grateful that she came out to visit us, for a special occasion, several years ago and that my children were able to meet her.  We will always love you Cousin Elaine.

I was a friend for 30 years, will be forever friend,
death doesn't end a friendship

Elaine loved art, I am a painter and she was a great
supporter of my art

Another side to Elaine, a joy to see her so inspired

Francine Tint

Elaine was my friend for over forty five years. Elaine always maintained friendships over long periods of time. She was always available for her friends, I don't know how she did it. Her quick wit and warmth were unique. It is a terrible loss for her friends and family. Arlene Novick

My sincerest sympathies go out to Elaine’s family, friends, and those of us who knew her as a colleague. Elaine was one of my first sex therapy supervisors more than 30 years ago.  She was smart and insightful, and never short on witty sardonic comments, which were always appreciated. I will miss her big grin and laughing with her.  

With much sadness,
Mindy

I just learned of my friend and colleague Elaine Kleinbart’s passing. That news is is of course extremely sad. Elaine was a valued and loved member of our Human Sexuality Program for decades. In fact, she was the first person I supervised under Helen Kaplan's direction over 40 years ago. Elaine was invited to join us as a Supervisor and was one of the first social workers to have a Faculty appointment in our department. She served as a Supervisor for decades, where she was highly regarded by both her trainees and colleagues for her sensitivity, warmth, supportive style and insights into both the trainees themselves and their patients. She was also a good friend to so many and I smile at  the memory of her dancing up a storm at my 40th birthday party over 30 years ago!

Elaine will be greatly missed, but be comforted knowing her good work and kind spirit will always be her legacy. 
Sincerely—Michael
